  • Tamil Elam In Iran Elamites

    The unraveling of Indian History is an arduous task.

    It is more confounding when one tries to sort out the relationship and antiquity of Sanskrit and other regional languages like Tamil Kannada( I have done some research in these but yet to study other languages, I am sure I will have more surprises when I go with an open mind).

    Now that I have explored a little on Sanatana Dharma, Sanskrit and their relationship with them, Iam convinced that Tamil and Sanatana Dharma/Sanskrit is quite ancient and our present reading of History does not do just do justice to any of them.

    Facts.

    1.Tamil kings were present during the Swayamvara of Nala and Damayanthi,Lord Rama.

    2.Shiva worship in the South preceded Vedic Texts.

    3.Thiruvannamalai is 3.9 Million years old.

    4.Tirupathi is 2100 million years old.

    5.There is a million year old Tamil site near Chennai.

    6.Jwalapuram near Cuddapah, Rayalaseema is 74000 years old where Nataraja Idol is found.

    7.Agastya’s travel to  South India has been documented at around 5000 BC and another around 21 000 years ago.

    8.Velirs, A Dynasty of Kings were brought from Dwaraka to South India by Agastya.

    9.Tamil Brahmi script is found in Harappa.

    10.Satavrata Manu, ancestor of Lord Rama migrated from Dravida Desa.

    11.Satyavrata Manu meditated near Madagascar.

    12.Shiva’s Trinetra Dance is performed among the Aborigines of Australia.

    13.There is speculation that Daksha hid in the Antarctic.

    14.Due to Tectonic plate movement India was near Arctic a long time ago.

    15.It is probable that India moved near Antarctic as well.

    16.The cultural exchange between South and North was quite frequent and very close.

    17.Rama supported the Lemurians in their war against the Atlanteans.

    18. Traces of Tamil language and Tamil culture is found among the tribes of North West of India and the South west of present Iran.

    Now  a new theory suggests that Tamil Elam was present in the area surrounding Iran and Tamil in its rudimentary form is found there even new.

    The word Tamil Elam is from the usage of the same word in the same sense by the Elamie civilisation.

     

     

    McAlpin (1975) in his study identified some similarities between Elamite and Dravidian. He proposed that 20% of Dravidian and Elamite vocabulary are cognates while 12% are probable cognates. He further proposed that Elamite and Dravidian possess similar second-person pronouns and parallel case endings. For example the term for mother in the Elamite language and in different Dravidian languages like Tamil is “amma”.[2] They have identical derivatives, abstract nouns, and the same verb stem+tense marker+personal ending structure. Both have two positive tenses, a “past” and a “non-past”.[3]

     

    Apart from the linguistic similarities, the Elamo-Dravidian Hypothesis rests on the claim that agriculture spread from the Near East to the Indus Valley region via Elam. This would suggest that agriculturalists brought a new language as well as farming from Elam. Supporting ethno-botanical data include the Near Eastern origin and name of wheat (D. Fuller). Later evidence of extensive trade between Elam and the Indus Valley Civilization suggests ongoing links between the two regions.

    The distribution of living Dravidian languages, concentrated mostly in southern India but with isolated pockets in Southern Afghanistan and Pakistan (Brahui) and in Central and East India (Kurukh, Malto), suggests to some a wider past distribution of the Dravidian languages. However, there are varied opinions about the origin of northern Dravidian languages like Brahui, Kurukh and Malto[disambiguation needed].[5] The Kurukh have traditionally claimed to be from the Deccan Peninsula,[6] more specifically Karnataka. The same tradition has existed of the Brahui.[7][8] They call themselves immigrants.[9] Many scholars hold this same view of the Brahui[10] such as L. H. Horace Perera and M. Ratnasabapathy.[11] Moreover, it has now been demonstrated that the Brahui only migrated to Balochistan from central India after 1000 CE. The absence of any older Iranian loanwords in Brahui supports this hypothesis. The main Iranian contributor to Brahui vocabulary, Balochi, is a western Iranian language like Kurdish.[12]

    ‘

    The people of Elam (yes in Tamil, Eelam means homeland), were the first to civilise the Iranian Peninsula. in the 2700 BC period. They were contemporaries of the Egyptians, the Mittanis and the Hittites. The Elamites were a significant people. till the 800BC in Persia (modern day Iran).
    The Elamites concluded a major treaty with the Akkadian King King Naram-sin (Naram to Narain and Sin is the moon goddess, Chandra; possibly Narayan Chandra). Akkadian language is itself implicated in being in cahoots with Sanskrit and Indus Valley languages – and the creation ans spread of most modern languages except Sino languages. One of the most prominent rulers of Babylon was Nebuchadnezzar (as spelt in English). Replace ‘b’ with ‘d’ and you are very close the Tamil name of Neduncheziyan (Nedunchedianuru) – a current and modern Tamil name. Interestingly, Neduncheziyan is more famous as the fabled erring Pandyan King in the Tamil classic – Silappadhikaaram. Neduncheziyan mistaken justice, brings him grief and finally death. Neduncheziyan is overshadowed by the other King, Cheran Senguttuvan’s fame in the Tamil classic, written by Jain Saint, Elangovadigal.
    Where It All Started
    The oldest Indian language, not based on Sanskrit, is Tamil. There is 3000 year old history that Tamil language has, which makes it one the oldest, living language. Related languages are in use even today in Pakistan, where the Brahui tribe speaks a related version of the Tamil language. The Brahuis have marriage preferences which are similar to South Indians (cousins preferred in marriage) – rather than North Indians. BRAHUI, a people of Baluchistan, inhabiting the Brahui mountains, which extend continuously from near the Bolan Pass to Cape Monze on the Arabian Sea. The khan of Kalat, the native ruler of Baluchistan, is himself a Brahui, and a lineal descendant of Kumbar, former chief of the Kumbarini, a Brahui tribe. The origin of the Brahuis is an ethnological mystery.The origins of the Brahuis are even more puzzling than those of the Baluch, for their language is not Indo-European at all, but belongs to the same Dravidian family as Tamil and the other languages of south India spoken over a thousand miles away. One theory has it that the Brahuis are the last northern survivors of a Dravidian-speaking population which perhaps created the Indus Valley civilisation, but it seems more likely that they too arrived as the result of a long tribal migration, at some earlier date from peninsular India. Bishop Robert Caldwell and other authorities declare them Dravidians, and regard them as the western borderers of Dravidian India. The Brahuis declare themselves to be the aborigines of the country they now occupy, their ancestors coming from Aleppo. For this there seems little foundation, and their language, which has no affinities with Persian, Pushtu or Baluchi, must be, according to the most eminent scholars, classed among the Dravidian tongues of southern India. Probably the Brahuis are of Dravidian stock, a branch long isolated from their kindred and much Arabized, and thus exhibiting a marked hybridism.

  • Synchronicity Coincidence Karma Theory

    Have you ever experienced the seemingly unconnected events coming to you when you are thinking about it?

    For instance when you come across a word the meaning of which you do not know, the word keeps popping up quite frequently the same day?

    Or when you think of some one coming to your home or when you anticipate something , not very assiduously and consciously, the person /the event turns up?

    These incidents are not noticed by us immediately but one wonders about these things when one reflects upon it at a later date.

    Do these have any meaning?

    Well, Hinduism has an explanation.

    Whatever is in the Macrocosm is in the microcosm.

    That is whatever is on the Universe is present is with the individual.

    Even the elements like Earth Water Fire Air and Ether that constitute the Universe is present in the individual .

    Even the Electrons revolve around the Nucleus in the same way the cosmos moves around each other.

    Every thing in the Universe is synchronised.

    The actions,thoughts one performs/ has do not end with him.

    They, being energy can not be destroyed.

    They get stored in the Cosmos.

    Even the most secret thoughts get stored in the Cosmos.They come back to the individual at some point of time.

    This forms the basis of The Karma Theory of Hinduism.

    In the same way events/persons which/ who are seemingly unconnected get connected without any serious effort.

    Individual Consciousnees is a part of Universal Consciousness and the  former is limitd by Space and Time, while the latter is unbounded.

    This process of seemingly unconnected acusal events is

    Called Synchronicity in modern Science, though it is under discussion and controversy.

    Synchronicity.

    Synchronicity is a concept, first explained by psychiatrist Carl Jung, which holds that events are “meaningful coincidences” if they occur with no causal relationship, yet seem to be meaningfully related During his career, Jung furnished several slightly different definitions of it.

    Jung variously defined synchronicity as an “acausal connecting (togetherness) principle,” “meaningful coincidence”, and “acausal parallelism.” He introduced the concept as early as the 1920s but gave a full statement of it only in 1951

    parallelism.” He introduced the concept as early as the 1920s but gave a full statement of it only in 1951 in an Eranos

    Synchronicity is a concept, first explained by psychiatrist Carl Jung, which holds that

    In 1952, he published a paper Synchronizität als ein Prinzip akausaler Zusammenhänge (Synchronicity – An Acausal Connecting Principle)[ in a volume which also contained a related study by the physicist and Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli.

     

    Diagram illustrating Carl Jung’s concept of synchronicity

    Jung coined the word “synchronicity” to describe “temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events.”

    In his book Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle, Jung wrote:

    How are we to recognize acausal combinations of events, since it is obviously impossible to examine all chance happenings for their causality? The answer to this is that acausal events may be expected most readily where, on closer reflection, a causal connection appears to be inconceivable.

    In the introduction to his book, Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal, Roderick Main wrote:

    The culmination of Jung’s lifelong engagement with the paranormal is his theory of synchronicity, the view that the structure of reality includes a principle of acausal connection which manifests itself most conspicuously in the form of meaningful coincidences. Difficult, flawed, prone to misrepresentation, this theory none the less remains one of the most suggestive attempts yet made to bring the paranormal within the bounds of intelligibility. It has been found relevant by psychotherapists, parapsychologists, researchers of spiritual experience and a growing number of non-specialists. Indeed, Jung’s writings in this area form an excellent general introduction to the whole field of the paranormal.

    In his book Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle, Jung wrote:

    …it is impossible, with our present resources, to explain ESP, or the fact of meaningful coincidence, as a phenomenon of energy. This makes an end of the causal explanation as well, for “effect” cannot be understood as anything except a phenomenon of energy. Therefore it cannot be a question of cause and effect, but of a falling together in time, a kind of simultaneity. Because of this quality of simultaneity, I have picked on the term “synchronicity” to designate a hypothetical factor equal in rank to causality as a principle of explanation.

    Synchronicity was a principle which, Jung felt, gave conclusive evidence for his concepts of archetypes and thecollective unconscious It described a governing dynamic which underlies the whole of human experience and history — social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. The emergence of the synchronistic paradigm was a significant move away from Cartesian dualism towards an underlying philosophy ofdouble-aspect theory. It has been argued that this shift was essential to bringing theoretical coherence to Jung’s earlier work.

     

    Cetonia aurata

    In his book Synchronicity (1952), Jung tells the following story as an example of a synchronistic event:

    My example concerns a young woman patient who, in spite of efforts made on both sides, proved to be psychologically inaccessible. The difficulty lay in the fact that she always knew better about everything. Her excellent education had provided her with a weapon ideally suited to this purpose, namely a highly polished Cartesian rationalism with an impeccably “geometrical” idea of reality. After several fruitless attempts to sweeten her rationalism with a somewhat more human understanding, I had to confine myself to the hope that something unexpected and irrational would turn up, something that would burst the intellectual retort into which she had sealed herself. Well, I was sitting opposite her one day, with my back to the window, listening to her flow of rhetoric. She had an impressive dream the night before, in which someone had given her a golden scarab — a costly piece of jewellery. While she was still telling me this dream, I heard something behind me gently tapping on the window. I turned round and saw that it was a fairly large flying insect that was knocking against the window-pane from outside in the obvious effort to get into the dark room. This seemed to me very strange. I opened the window immediately and caught the insect in the air as it flew in. It was a scarabaeid beetle, or common rose-chafer (Cetonia aurata), whose gold-green colour most nearly resembles that of a golden scarab. I handed the beetle to my patient with the words, “Here is your scarab.” This experience punctured the desired hole in her rationalism and broke the ice of her intellectual resistance. The treatment could now be continued with satisfactory results.

    — Carl Jung, [16]

    The French writer Émile Deschamps claims in his memoirs that, in 1805, he was treated to some plum pudding by a stranger named Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, the writer encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Parisrestaurant and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him that the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be de Fontgibu. Many years later, in 1832, Deschamps was at a dinner and once again ordered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only de Fontgibu was missing to make the setting complete – and in the same instant, the now senile de Fontgibu entered the room.

    Jung wrote, after describing some examples, “When coincidences pile up in this way, one cannot help being impressed by them – for the greater the number of terms in such a series, or the more unusual its character, the more improbable it becomes.”
